The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has proposed expanding the scope of the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation to include DeFi access points, staking services, and crypto lending. The authority also recommended stricter restrictions on unauthorized stablecoin services to further regulate the EU crypto asset market. These proposals remain under regulatory discussion and have not yet been finalized. If adopted, the expanded framework could significantly alter business models and compliance requirements for crypto service providers operating within the European Union.
